Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation    Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation A Participant Review of the Manitoba and Manitoba Hydro Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment (RCEA) Phase II Report October 2, 2017 Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation Executive Summary On April 25, 2017, the Clean Environment Commission (CEC) approved funding in the amount of $28,000.00 to prepare a written submission that addresses whether the cumulative effects of 50+ years of hydro development is accurately reflected in the RCEA documentation as it relates to the Fox Lake Cree Nation (FLCN) and to provide suggestions for future action. This submission was prepared with input from the community of Fox Lake. It describes details of the process and context in which the review was conducted and provides recommendations for future actions. The results of the review are presented as local cumulative effects and are divided into four categories: - Nipi•Water; - Nipi | Aski•Land and Water; - Future Development and, - Heritage and Mino Pimatisowin. The Community Profile is also reviewed and recommendations are made throughout the document from the information collected for this submission. The submission received feedback from Fox Lake Elders, resource users and members during a community meeting about the local cumulative effects of past, present and future hydroelectric and other developments contained in the RCEA Phase II Report. This approach was used to gain an understanding of how members have observed past effects and what information needs to be emphasized in a response to the CEC. The following is a list of recommendations presented in the review: To enhance the information already presented by Manitoba Hydro. This can be achieved within the Community Profile by adding the outlined local cumulative effects from the following recent FLCN documentation that was not available for the RCEA Phase II Report: - Lower Nelson River Aski Keskentamowin Study: The Land and People are One • Aski Ekwa Muskegowak Wahkomitowak December 2016 (FLCN) - Achieving Mino Pimatisowin 2016 (FLCN) - Assessing youth experiences of hydroelectric development in Fox Lake Cree Nation’s traditional territory 2017 (Master’s Thesis - Randi Thomas). Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation To investigate a new recovery strategy on the Lower Nelson River for sturgeon separate from the Grand Rapids hatchery. Traditional Knowledge monitors undertake increased monitoring of illegal fishing. That leadership and Manitoba Hydro develop more effective methods to distribute water level forecasts to the community and active resource users. To investigate mitigative strategies for altered flight paths of migratory geese. Implement noise dampening for transmission lines, especially in areas that are habitat sensitive as well as near resource cabins and encampments. Conduct traditional knowledge studies on the impacts of development on caribou herds. This includes mitigating the drowning of coastal caribou because of the weak ice on the Nelson River. To move the provincial habitat use boundary of the mistikoskaw atikok•woodland caribou that would reflect an actual presence further north. The FLCN statement on Future Development presented in this submission on page 15 should be included within the RCEA FLCN Community Profile. Extend the conservation closure length for masamegosak•brook trout throughout the spawning season. Apply existing heritage programs to the community to reinforce its historical and cultural significance in the Gillam region Apply the Lower Nelson River Aski Keskentamowin study, especially the History section, to enhance the Fox Lake Community Profile. A referencing error needs to be updated in the RCEA FLCN Community Profile (Section 3.5.6) and in Manitoba Hydro documentation. Reference Error - Bibliography In addition there is a referencing error that needs to be updated in the RCEA FLCN Community Profile (Section 3.5.6) and in Manitoba Hydro documentation. The reference reads erroneously in the Community Profile Bibliography as: FLCN 2008. Fox Lake Creek (sic) Nation: Preliminary sturgeon TK Study. A report prepared for Fox Lake Cree Nation by L. Agger with contributions from Dr. T. Dick and L. Hanks. Should be updated to: FLCN 2015.

The participant review funding was used to prepare a written submission, with advisor and community input, that addresses whether the cumulative effects of 50+ years of hydro development is accurately reflected in the RCEA documentations as it relates to FLCN and provides recommendations for future action. It is important for the CEC to note that the amount of funding provided constrained significantly the depth of the review. An advisor was selected by FLCN to research gaps between the information provided by the RCEA and the FLCN documentation provided by the community to prepare a written response, referred to in this document as an advisory review. FLCN documents provided for the advisory review were derived from development projects, academic theses, CEC and related community studies and statements. FLCN reports and recommendations were collated and summarized for comparison to details in RCEA reports to determine and confirm gaps and comments. Due to the voluminous size of the Phase II Report, the Integrated Summary was relied upon for the participant review process and the Phase II Report cross-referenced for detail where needed. 1 Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation Results of the advisory review were prepared and shared first with the FLCN staff followed by a community meeting in Gillam, Manitoba. The advisory review was presented to Fox Lake Core Kitayatisuk•Elders1 and Harvester Group members as well as key Kitayatisuk•Elders as gaps and recommendations. The RCEA Phase II Report was characterized in a presentation as a comprehensive and detailed acknowledgement of Manitoba Hydro's role in the impacts on the physical and socio-cultural environments within a Region of Interest (ROI), as well as 1 Cree terms throughout the document may be presented with its corresponding English term using the format [Cree•English]. 2 Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation being comprehensive and detailed with regards to partnership and the 2004 Impact Settlement Agreement (ISA). Feedback from the members attending indicated that some details with regards to local cumulative effects and worldview details were not fully captured in the RCEA Phase II Report and FLCN should respond with some statements from the numerous community aski keskentamowin • traditional knowledge studies that had been completed. The comments and recommendations are presented as local cumulative effects from a Fox Lake Cree Nation worldview and Fox Lake’s response to the RCEA Phase II Report and the FLCN Community Profile. 3 Makeso Sakahikan Inninuwak• Fox Lake Cree Nation Community Comments The community meeting for the RCEA participant review response was held on September 20, 2017 in Gillam, Manitoba on the community’s urban reserve. The demographic of the members that attended focused on Kitayatisuk • Elders who had cumulative experiences on the cumulative effect of hydroelectric development on their homelands within their lifetimes.
